Exporting LG’s Quick Memos

Many LG phones come with Quick Memo, a pre-installed note taking app. It’s not as good as OneNote or Evernote, but since it can’t be uninstalled, I thought I’d give it a try rather than waste precious storage space on duplicate apps. Come to find out, it handles my basic note-taking needs pretty well.

One downside, however, is that there’s no Quick Memo app for Windows. Thus, you can long-press on a note to share it with yourself (or others) via Gmail, but once you save the attachment, there’s no way to open it on your desktop or laptop. Nice.

However, after futzing with a sample file for a while, I found that the exported LQM files are just zip files, and can be opened with most compression apps. I’m a big fan of WinRAR, so here’s what a note looks like when opened in that app:

As you might guess, any audio or video files saved in a memo will be located in their respective folders. Image files are saved in the “Images” folder, while text (or drawings) captured by stylus input will be saved in the “Drawings” folder:

If you’d like, you can right-click an LQM file in Windows and choose Open With > WinRAR and check the “Always use this app to open these files” box to have Windows always use WinRAR (or WinZip or 7-Zip) to open the Quick Memo files.

none of this worked for me. I have a Dell WIN 7 computer and can’t find any of the programs with which to open the Quick Memo, which I sent to myself with my LG. I’ve explored several suggestions but it just ain’t happening. Is there a free program I can install, that will allow me to open and re-save the Quick Memo?

It was a sheer nightmare trying to extract my LGG2 notes from my yahoo email (after I, of course, deleted them from my phone thinking they were safe after I sent them to my email). More than 3 hrs later, I was ready to give up until I saw your post and suggestion to use WinRAR. I’m not a techie, so understanding how to do this was painful, BUT, I did it! Thank you so much for giving me just the nugget I needed to lead me to a solution. Sigh…LG should be ashamed of themselves for making something that should be simple, SO COMPLICATED.

I shifted to huawei P10 LITE, and have more than 200 notes in the app quickmemo+ from my old LG G2 mini, but can’t move them to my new phone.
Any app that could open them from my email would be helpful.
Being searching for a solution, with quick memo, notepad, and others, but still in pain. Is there way to share my notes from LG to HUAWEI, cable, wireless or any other way.

How do you open them up on a different phone? I had the LG Stylo and bought an Alcatel A30 Fierce, I backed them up into my Google drive, I also sent them via Bluetooth, but can’t seem to open them. I have 83 notes that are quite important that I don’t want to lose. Can anyone please help me to figure it out? I also downloaded a quick memo/notes app on Google play, but can’t find them in their either. Also, does anyone know how to tell if my Alcatel A30 Fierce has a clipboard on it? I can’t find it anywhere either. Thanks, Kelly

Hello! I have a question re my LG3 Quick Memo App:
What is the best way to transfer (i have very long texts) my Quick Memos onto my Laptop?
What i have managed so far is to open them as zip files with editor. However: They are in a totally non readable format. Looks like this:
